GAMBLING LAW TEST.

Fraternity at Spokane Already Tak-ing Step*.

Spokrfne, Jane 19.—The recent arrestof Fritz Deitrich, accused of a felony byreason of having been engaged in run-

ning a poker game in this city, baa nowdefinitely developed into a test case ofthe new ptiite law. The gamblers herehave banded together, raised a consid-erable enm of money, and employedFrank U. Graves, a brother of StateSenator Will Graves, to carry on thefight for them.

At the time of Deitrich's arrest itwas thought that he had opened hisgame with the intention of getting intotrouble. Detective Alexander MacDo-nald learned that a game was in progressat the Bohemia paloon. a resort con-ducted by "Doc" Brown, a local gam-bler and ealono man. MacDonald wentto the place and arrested Deitrich, whostated at the time that he was runningthe name for profit. Peitrich was ta-ken to the station, and in default of$750 cash bail was held for trial. Laterhe appeared before the police court andwas bound over to the superior Icon rtjfortrial. A special jury term is to beheld in the criminal department in Ju-ly, an ' it is expected that his case willcome up at that time.

The plan adopted for a test ol iht>new law may be authoritatively statedto be as follows: Deitrich will pleadguilty to conducting a game for profit.He willbe sentenced and a writ of ha-beas corpus will be immediately cuedout in the enppreme court of Washing-ton, in an original proceeding. Theattack there will be made on the con-stitutionality of the new act on the fol-lowing ground:

In 1879 the legislature of the state ofWashington passed an act making gam-bling a misdemeanor, and it is nnder\u2666his act that all gambling establish-ments have been operating by the pay-!" it of fines The act was still on thestatute hooks and in full force whenthe legislature convened last winter.'!"' bill making gambling a felony wasintroduced by Mr. Lewis, of King, andwas known as house bill 147. Its pas-sage repealed the old law)of 1879, mak-ing gambling a misdemeanor. ';'..'

Hie constitution of the state pro-vide, section 37, article 2, that no actof the legislature shall • ever be revisedor amended by mere refeence to its ti-tle, but, the section revised or amendedmust be pet out in full in the body ofthe new bill. The new gambling billdid not contain the old law, bo amend-ed by implication, word for word, andaccordingly the contention will be madethat the revision of the old act and pas-Page of bonne bill 147 were unconstitu-tional and void.

CHARGED WIT FORGERY.

Grand Jury May Ketnrn Second In-< 1 i*iin*nt Againiit Machen-

Waßhingtoon, June 19—It is believedthe grand jury will soon be asked bythe postofh'ce department authorities tofind another indictment against A. W.Machen, former superintendent of thefree delivery system. The charge, it issaid, will be forgery, based on the cash-ing of a check for $369, drawn by thecashier of the New York pofitoffice infavor of Henry L. Lorenz, of Toledo,Ohio. Iti s claimed the money was tohave been sent to Mr. Lorenz in care ofMr. Machen.

The check was cashed in this city,being endorsed by Frank K. Raymond,who says he had the check cashed forMachen. Mr. Lorenz has declared thatthe signature both of the check and ofthe voucher accompanying it are forger-ies. He declares he ban not received acent onf the money and has no knowl-edge of the transaction.

The forgery with which Mr. Machenis charged is alleged to have occurredin 1894, when Henry L. Lorenz, ascommissioner of the court of claims,was engaged in adjusting the claims ofletter carriers. The check on whichMachen is accused of indorsing Lorenz'name was issued on a voucher drawnon the postßiaoter at New York. A 8Mr. Lorecz was going away on a confi-dential mission, a request was madethat the.cash should be sent to Mr.Machen to be delivered to Lorenz.

The general impression at the court-houee is that the indictment will be re-

turned within two or three days and itis intimated that other indictmentswillbe returned at the same time.

IN BAD POSITION.

British Troops in Somaliland AreNow Surrounded.

Simla, India, June 22.—Major Gen-eral Charles Com in Egerton, who hasbeen in command of the Punjab fron-tier forces sirce 1899, has been appoint-ed to the command of the Somalilandexpeditionary forces, which are operat-ing against the Mad Mullah, superced-ing Brigadier General 11. Manning.

General Manning took command ofthe British expedition in Homalilandlast November, after a reverse* sufferedby Colonel Stayne, has not proved suc-cessful in his campaign. Columns ofdetached forces have been badly mauledby the Mullah'B followers, the most se-rious b«ing the ambush of ColonelPlunkett'B flying detachment of 208men, when the entire force waa wipedout. The latest advices received inLondon, June 14, were to the effectthat General Manning was surroundedand unable to assist Colonel Babbet,whose column was in a serious posi-tion at Callady and on half rations.One of the causes of the nonsuccess ofthe expedition has bevn the cowardiceof the native Somali regiment, ofwhich so much was hoped when it wasformed recently. Only a few days agonews came that the native camel corpshad mutinied. The operations againstthe Mad Mullah, Tvho first raised thetribes against the Brit'sh in 1899, havealready cost $2,000,000.

A desire ifr manifested to abandon thecampaign, but in view of the predica-ment of General Manning's forces ithue been found necessary to order Brit-ish troops from India, and when theyarrive the British expedition in Soma-liland will consist of 800 Britinh, 1,200Indian troops and 4,000 natives.
